Brilliant.

The audience at the ball park yesterday
afternoon to see the game between the
Omahas and the Kansas Citys, was only fair
in size, but the game was one of the finest,
the most brilliant interesting played on the
local grounds this seoson.
Both teams we're on their mettle and the
struggle abounded with gllttoring plays from
the opening to the close.

in the points, however, was niarred to cer-
tain extent, to two wild throws to first, both
of which were very damaging. Messill,
Dwyer, Walsh, Bandle, Bader. Tusselbaclc
and Jantzen also handled themselves
in an admirable way, especially
Messitt and Jantzen, the former making one
OF the most phenomenal one-hand cathes. IN
the fifth inning, of q hit from Howe's bat
ever seen upon ball field. He made one
stop, too, that was of q circus order, and
ELECTED perfect bedlam of applause. Jant-
zen, the siX-foot back-stop caught one of the
prettiest games ever seen in Omaha. He was
perfect stone wall, catching throughout
without an error, and doing the work with
but little fuss or feathers. In fact the whole
tion that was exhilerating to behold. The
cowboys, too, as the score and the result
probably signifies, played magnificent
game, but three errors being recorded against
them.
The umpirng of Mr.. Hengle was exceps
tionally good but one decision incting any
thing that resembled KICK and that was in
the ninth, when he proclaimed Healey safe
on fly knocked to left field and scooped up
along with handful of hay by the agile Mr..
Lille.
AS is customary on the home grounds, the
OmahaS went first to the bat, and despite the
fact that Walsh OppnCd the music nv ~
corker to center, and Messett got his base oni
one of Nichols, they were retired without
scoring.
The cowboys were presented with goose
eggs in the first and second, although they
succeeded in getting men on bases in both
innings
In the second the Omahas made two talles.
Fusselback took his seat on throw of pitch
to first. Jantzen hit safe to right, and stole
second and third to the immense delight Of
the audience. Jantzen reminds one of
giraffe as he unfOds himself between the
bases. Walsh was on hand with his second
safe hit, Jantlen crossing the pate. Walsh
stole second in fine style kept right on tG
third and home on a wild throw of Legg to
second, which also got by center field Mes

In the third Dick Dwyer hit the ball for a
clean three-sacker, but was left. Bandle

his base on five balls and Dwyer was run,
down between third and home. Gennis got

with first by liealey, who followed this up
with wild throw of Ringos' short infeldA

ever, dashed the Missourians' hopes by a
long fly to Bader.
In the fourth Fusselbach hit safely to cen-.

were quickly disposed of and the cowboys
again came in but to go right out again, for

prevented from scoring by the sharp fielding
OF the OmahaS.
In the fifth, sixth. seventh and eighth the

tallies to their score.

taking third on the same and scoring on

captured by Messitt with one hand after a

In the ninth inning the Omahas came in to

fortunes. llealey's lack OF judgment was
the straw that broke the dronedary's back.
And this is the way the jig went up.

hit and went all the way round to third on a
wild throw by lassamaer. Healey hit "a

the ground, and Jautzen was prevented
from coming in. The umpire, however, de-
